Chris Archer

The 2012 AL Cy Young Award winner pitched two hitless innings in relief for the Red Sox in a 3-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday.

Price was activated Thursday and pitched for the first time since July 22 after being sidelined by left elbow inflammation. He struck out two in his first relief appearance since 2010.

"I felt good. I put up two zeroes in a one-run game. It's fun to get back out there," Price said. "I felt good with the curveball, threw some really good cutters, a couple good changeups. It was good."
